Testimonials
Not all divorces are collaborative. High conflict ex? Experiencing emotional or other abuse? Fearful of leaving because of your children? Check, check and check. Marlene immediately understood my situation and helped me leave, shining a light on a path out that was safe and child-centered. Two years and multiple highly contested court appearances later, I have a deal that works and a new life for myself and my children. I highly recommend Marlene for complex and high-conflict situations. She is empathetic, tough, practical, and can connect you to other services to help you in your journey.

Marlene has made a law in Ontario recently. She won an interim motion for REUNIFICATION THERAPY in favour of a father who had been denied access for over 1 year with his 13-year old child. Now, on the strength of Marlene’s case, the Court may order Reunification Therapy to help rehabilitate a shattered parent/child relationship.
